Drawing the viewer in with a sense of involvement, reality TV serials featuring property conversions by DIY enthusiasts, architects and interior designers have taken a strong foothold in the UK.
In Germany the concept has taken off too and, abound with handy tips for the homeviewer, formats such as "Live your wish - the House" on VOX, "Dreamhouse" in the Bavarian broadcast and "In Luck At Home" on RTL2 are increasingly popular.
"In Luck At Home" is a program that frequently focuses on families who, either through illness or adverse circumstances, are no longer able to revamp their homes and in the 53rd episode, the Dittrich family decided to install an electric underfloor heating system under a laminate floor. That way, the family’s son, who wasn’t well, would be able to practice movement exercises on a pleasantly warm floor. No more problems with the cold!
The heating system consisted of an aluminum foil mat, in which an electrical heating conductor was embedded. The heating mat was simply unrolled onto the acoustic insulation and covered with the laminate panels.
Warmup offers the latest technology with a glassfibre-reinforced aluminum foil heating system. It is suitable for installation under all floating laminate and multi-layer parquet floors, where the floor mat is not nailed or stuck to the subfloor. It can even be made to measure.
